Use a free program called tinySpell that makes a sound and gives you a list of spelling suggestions every time you mistype something. This works in every program on your PC -including Office, Notepad, the Windows search bar, and even in browser search boxes and URL fields. To download it, go to cnet.co/tinySpell and click the green Download Now link at the top left. Run the downloaded setup file and follow the steps to install it. Now, whenever you misspell a word, you’ll hear a notification sound (a ping). You’ll also see the misspelt word in a small yellow box (see screenshot below left). Click this box to see possible alternatives, then select the correct one. To customise the program, open tinySpell (by clicking the small white TS icon in your PC’s notification area). From here, you can change the size of the yellow box by selecting Small, Large or Huge in the ‘Spelling tip’ section (it’s set to Medium by default).
